Trial Outcomes & Findings for Capecitabine With or Without Sunitinib Malate as First-Line Therapy in Treating Patients With Metastatic Cancer of the Esophagus or Gastroesophageal Junction (NCT NCT00891878)

NCT ID: NCT00891878

Last Updated: 2018-07-24

Results Overview

The primary analysis will be a comparison of Arm A to Arm B using a one-sided log-rank test between the 2 Kaplan-Meier curves. All patients meeting the eligibility criteria, who started treatment will be considered evaluable for the primary endpoint. If a patient is still alive 3 years after registration, no further follow-up is required. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 3 years

Population: All evaluable patients

The primary analysis will be a comparison of Arm A to Arm B using a one-sided log-rank test between the 2 Kaplan-Meier curves. All patients meeting the eligibility criteria, who started treatment will be considered evaluable for the primary endpoint. If a patient is still alive 3 years after registration, no further follow-up is required. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions

6.1 Months

Interval 0.6 to 8.4

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 3 years

Population: All evaluable patients

A confirmed tumor response is defined to be a CR or PR noted as the objective status on 2 consecutive evaluations ≥4 weeks apart. Confirmed tumor response will be evaluated using the first 6 cycles of treatment. All patients meeting the eligibility criteria who have signed a consent form and have begun treatment will be evaluable for response. The confirmed response rates between the 2 arms will be compared using a Chi-Square or Fisher's Exact test. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD.

Population: All evaluable patients

Overall survival is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. The distribution of overall survival will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 3 years

Population: All evaluable patients

Time to disease progression is defined as the time from randomization to the earliest date documentation of disease progression occurs. If a patient dies without a documentation of disease progression, the patient will be considered to have had tumor progression at the time of their death unless there is sufficient documented evidence to conclude no progression occurred prior to death. The distribution of time-to-progression will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

Duration of response is defined for all evaluable patients who have achieved an objective response as the date at which the patient's earliest best objective status is first noted to be either a CR or PR to the earliest date progression is documented.
